Slavery on the Red Sea.

Not long ago it was announced in the
House Of Commons that the slave trade
was booming on the Red Sea and though
France and England have had gunboats
watching the coast and have seized many
slaves, yet the trade is now as active as
ever, and may form ground for the next
nove Of these nations in Egypt and the
1lby02~n.
The slave dealers are Soudanese, the fol.
lowers of the new mahdi. All restriction
upon slave stealing in the Soudan being
now removed, they have once more tapped
their old source of supply in Southern Oar
fur and the Bahr.el.G Ghazal region. Slaves
arc being driven by thousands to khar-
toum. If the dealers can only smuggle
their victims over to Jtddah and Mecca
their profits are enormous. The slave
trade is now stimulated not only by the
great profits of the business, but also by
the fact that all trade is contraband. The
merchants run just as great risks if they
are caught with ostrich feathers or ivory,
on which the profit is much less than on
slaves.
The plainest and surest method of stop
ping the trade would therefore be for the
powerful European nations to try to make
some terms with the mahdi's successor
which would remove the restriction from
trade and the causes operating for the EN-
couragement Of the slave traffic. The barba-
rity of this business may be estimated from
the tact that party Of 800 that left Khar.

sfrong and this is not unusual. They are
taken across the Red Sea at night to Jeddah
and are sold there and at Mecca, crossing

ing close by steamships of every civilized
nation. Relentless war will be waged on
the slave trade by England and as soon as
the state of Europe permits, another effort
VIII probably be made to open the Soudan:
Italy and France both aiding.
